Papercraft: the calm presence of a hippopotamus, as a wall mask
With its steady, almost unflappable gaze and quietly powerful presence, the 3D origami hippopotamus mask turns a few sheets of paper into a striking, graphic and decidedly contemporary decorative piece. Once assembled, it appears to emerge from the wall, frozen in a moment of silent strength.
The assembly quickly becomes a ritual. You fold, adjust and connect each piece. Shapes gradually come to life, revealing a sculptural mask measuring 280 mm high, 250 mm wide and 450 mm deep. A generous format that dresses a wall beautifully, catching the eye without overwhelming the space.
A model designed for the joy of building
This mask is based on a clear, well-structured model: 15 pages to assemble, for a total of 30 pieces. Each element naturally finds its place, guided by a precise folding system. The intermediate difficulty level lets you enjoy the process without frustration, while still delivering a real sense of achievement.
The model is designed to be made using a single paper color. Mineral white, deep black, natural tones or bold colors: the choice is yours. The 15 pages cover the entire mask, ensuring a cohesive and elegant final look.
A statement piece for your interior
Displayed in a living room, office or entryway, this hippopotamus mask makes a strong style statement. It naturally fits within the world of paper masks, alongside other equally expressive animal creations. A piece of decor that tells a story, without saying a word.
